Increasing showers and thunderstorms over northern Utah Wednesday afternoon
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Wednesday, Utah! We're seeing cloudy skies over the northern half of the state as moist southwest flow is in place.
Active weather will pick up into the afternoon and evening as a weak trough will move through the region, expect isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms to form up north while southern Utah will remain dry.
This pattern will largely remain in place for our Thursday with the large-scale weather pattern holding on to southwest flow into Utah. The higher terrain has the best chance for thunderstorm development, but some of those could hold and roll into adjacent valleys in Northern Utah. Temperatures remain roughly 5-10 degrees above seasonal averages throughout the week.
Another approaching trough for the end of the week will increase southerly flow, limiting some of the moisture potential into the weekend. It will also keep temperatures above average statewide into the weekend.
The trough inches closer to the state into the weekend, which means that winds really pick up Friday and Saturday, and that brings blowing dust potential and warmer conditions along the Wasatch Front. Expect low to mid-70s through Saturday in the northern half of the state, with 80s turning to 70s in St. George as we hit the weekend.

After warm and windy conditions Friday and Saturday, we will see increasing cloud cover and a passing front begin to knock down temps a few degrees by Saturday evening. We could also see some scattered wet weather Sunday and into next week, but we're fine-tuning those details. Stay tuned!

Vog to move up island chain due to E/SE winds
HONOLULU (KHON2) – A rather stable, light to moderate trade wind flow remains in place this afternoon. A surface trough lies between Hawaii and somewhat strong high pressure farther north, causing the local pressure gradient and resulting trade winds to weaker than usual, and a mid-level ridge sitting over the islands is maintaining stable conditions with an inversion based near 7,000 ft. A narrow slot of reduced moisture is producing minimal rainfall along windward areas this afternoon, and aside from scattered showers over the Kona slopes of the Big Island and Ulupalakua area of Upcountry Maui, leeward areas are dry. Shower activity over leeward Maui will dissipate quickly around sundown and will diminish overnight on the Big Island. Shower activity over windward areas will remain light, with the exception of a possible uptick near Kauai and Oahu near sunrise. Subtle changes are expected Monday and Tuesday. A surface trough will develop roughly 600 miles northwest of Kauai and cause local trade winds to veer out of the east to east-southeast, possibly causing afternoon leeward sea breezes to be more extensive on Kauai and Oahu. The inversion will weaken over these islands as well, suggesting higher chances for afternoon showers over leeward terrain. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
